Key Blade Wobble
Peugeot decided to test something different in the early 2000's. Instead of the reliable type of carbon encased transponder chips, they introduced a flip key design. Unfortunately the new design had several major issues one of the main ones is key blade wobble. This problem is caused when the blade of the key, which is basically the mouth part that goes into the lock first, wears.
